We have an external speaker that we plug into the usb on a hp laptop that we use for teams meetings. When this gets plugged into my bosses hp laptop it doesnt do anything, if we unplug it from computer then her computer speaker works fine wear you can hear and talk. I can take that same usb external speaker and plug it into my hp computer and it works just fine, we can hear and talk into. What would cause it not to work on her computer?

Go into the Control Panel, type sound to get to the sound options.  Click on the Playback tab and make sure you have the desired option selected.

Sometimes, the found will try to go to the HDMI cable and if your monitor doesn't have speakers connected, then you won't have any sound.  Go to youtube, click on any long video (music) while testing, you should see an audio bar graph when something is playing
